They could just say "extremely autistic" and leave it at that. Much, much less cringe.
It's sad what society is doing to these people. A few decades ago these people would probably have turned out at least somewhat functional, possibly even mostly normal...probably not in a group with a 41% risk of suicide, or whatever.
I remember when a stated goal of society was to look after the mentally ill, not encourage them. Same goes for suicide. It still blows my mind that Canada encourages that, for example. So fucking weird.
